1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1930 DePreist Causes So. To Squirm VOLUME 42 - ON THE SIDEWALK - By C. A. B. SINCE THE President's family has been attending the Irving Street Friend's Assembly in Washington, large crowds have been drawn thither hence the trustees in order to keep from commercializing the atmosphere of the church have decided to no longer pass the collection plate, instead to ask the members to mail in their weekly contributions. It would be a financial tragedy for the average one of our churches if such procedure were voted the order of the day. THE CATALINA ISLAND gum magnate says there is a brighter day right around the corner for California prosperity. A few hours after this statement was sent abroad through the medium of one of our daily papers, a man came into this office, weary with job seeking, said he had about turned every corner in the city and as yet had not come to the one mentioned by Mr. Wrigley. IF THE WEATHER keeps up at the pace it is going now, we had all just aswell pack our grips and go back East. It is reported that snow fell in San Diego, Wednesday night and it is cold enough in Los Angeles to expect most anything in the way of snow or sheet. --- IT IS SAID that when he was a lad an occasion arose in his life when it was necessary for Booker T. Washington, the secion of Tuskegee, to fight a fellow schoolmate. "This fellow, said Mr. Washington, was apparently my superior in muscular strength; he had dogged me for so long, that it was generally understood among the other boys that I feared him. Finally one day, he put his threats into action and started in to give me the flogging of my life. At first I was overwhelmed with fear as the young giant rained blows on every part of my body. While at first I was unable to fight back, however, my mind was working faster than my hands; I realized that if I let this fellow fulfill his intention of humiliating me in the presence of others, I would bring about a condition in my life which I could never overcome. My fear turned to shame, my shame to determination to win this battle. I soon got the best of my opponent, rolled him over in a ditch where I held him fast, bathing him in mud and generally walloping my giant until he begged for mercy; but as I held him fast, I realized that in order to keep him in the ditch it would be necessary for me to stay also. So after I was satisfied that the battle was mine, I arose, helped my friend to his feet, shook hands and was on my way." Can America keep pace with the trend of civilization by keeping the Negro in the ditch? Anyhow it seems to be the opinion of some of our officials, both national and local, that in order to advance white supremacy, it is necessary to crush the Negro. A true demonstration of this attitude was that of Judge Vicini when a few day ago he decided that Mrs. Sally Trainor. Negro preacher, would have to live to be more than a hundred years old if she ever hoped to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness under her own vine and fig tree, which happened to be her residence at 160 East 45th street. Under Judge Vicini's mandate, which is said to be the first of its kind in the State of California, Mrs. Trainor is called upon to leave her home and take to the tall timbers. And now, like the lowly Nazarene, Mrs. Trainor goes forth with no place to lay her head. At this time we are unable to trace Judge Vicini's lineage but the gentleman's name smacks of a kinship with Mussoulini and evidently neither he nor his forefathers helped to build this stately government that we call our own America, and yet with the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, the first of which was formed to make the Negro a free man, the second gave him the right to vote and the third granted him equality as a citizen with any other citizen of the United States—lacofe him for his perusal. Judge Vicini assumes the right of dictatorship to the extent that he rules this woman out of her home, which to our mind is equivalent to taking away from her every right and privilege granted to her under the Constitution of the United States of America. It is indeed time when the Negroes of California should speak out in no uncertain terms against such officals as this Judge Vicini, who is placed in office by the popular vote of the people. We have and are still swallowing a whole lot of things supposedly under the 'law that should so nauseate us as to cause us to spine them out and determine that even though we starve to death in our fight for equality of (Please Turn To Page Four) Kip Really Sorry To Leave Alice (Bv: A. N. P.) Las Vegas, Nevada, Jan. 7, Leonardo Kip Rhinelander who was granted a divorce here from his Negro wife, Alice Jones Rhinelander, was not the jubilant young man he was expected to be when the decree was announced, and those who observed his dejected appearance as he left the courtroom, expressed the opinion that "Kip was really sorry to leave and lose Alice." Young Rhinelander established residence in this state in order to secure the divorce. At the time the move was originated it was freely expressed by those in the know that it was not his desire but that of his family that he should be divorced from his colored bride, who was subjected to many indignities in the annulment suit some years ago. His attitude following the decree, which is not valid in the State of New York and other states bore out this contention. Counsel for Mrs. Rhinelander announced upon receipt of the information that Rhinelander had secured a divorce that the evidence presented by Kip in Nevada would be used against him in the separation suit which has been filed by his wife in New York and that the suit against the elder Rhinelander would be pushed to the limit. (By: A. N. P.) St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 7.—Pickney Hollis, 70-year-old recluse, was found murdered Saturday night in his room in the rear of 2641 Pine street. There were twelve deep wounds in his face and head, apparently inflicted with a hatchet found nearby. The old man had been dead for many hours. A broken chair and several broken milk bottles found in the room indicated the aged man had struggled with his assailant before having been hacked to death. A bank book, watch chain and papers also found on the floor by the body, the pockets in the clothing which empty, led police to believe robbery to have been the motive. Neighbors were unable to furnish information as to the identification of the murderer or of the circumstances. Haiti Calm On Surface; Unrest Underneath Port au Prince, Haiti, Jan. 7—Haiti is peaceful enough on the surface, but the republic is seething with discontent and dissatisfaction that might easily be fanned into an eruption. In the north alcohol and tobacco taxes are ranking the peasants. In the coffee producing country around Jacnel the recently adopted coffee standardization law is an added grievance. Complaints are heard everywhere against grafting, communal officials and corrupt courts. There is also widespread criticism of methods employed by Dr. George H. Freeman, director of the Service Technique d'Agriculture. The peasant believes the taxes, which, it is claimed, ruined the alcohol and tobacco industry, were devised solely to provide easy money for the present Haitian administration and American occupation to squander on useless enterprises if not pocketed by grafters. N.A.A.C.P. To Hold Installation of Officers Sunday afternoon, January 12, the N. A. A. C. P., will hold its installation of officers at the A. M. E. Zion church, Pico and Paloma. Mr. Paul R. Williams will deliver an address, telling of his recent trip to Washington as a member of the Negro National Memorial Committee. There will be other speakers of prominence on the program and a meeting of interest is assured. Immediately following the installation, the women's auxiliary will have its annual election of officers. The public is invited. LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1930 Auto Dealer To Fly To New York Show (Bv: A. N. P.) Chicago, Ill., Jan. 7—Homer Roberts, president of Roberts-Campbell Motor Company of this city, widely known head of the country's largest automobile agency, has made a plane reservation to fly to New York next Saturday. Mr. Roberts who has had phenomenal success here as an authorized representative of the Hupmobile Company, is making the trip to New York to attend the New York automobile show at the Grand Central Palace. Chamber Of Commerce Gives School $10,000 (By: A. N. P.) Salisbury, N. C., Jan. 7—The Salisbury Chamber of Commerce gives $10,000 to the Price Memorial Campaign in response to an urgent appeal of President Trent. This brings the campaign within $25,000 of the total amount to be raised—$250,000. The final reports will be made by the Episcopal areas here December 31. Bishop J. S. Caldwell of Philadelphia is Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Senior Bishop of the A. M. E. Zion Church. Dr. E. A. Robinson of the class of 1911 gives $500 more to the drive, making a total of $1,500 he has given in this effort. He and Dr. W. H. Higgins of Providence, R. L. are the largest contributors of the Alumni. The latter has already given $1,600. A similar amount has been given by Bishop E. M. Jacobs of Brooklyn, N.Y. All three of these men are members of the Trustee Board of the College. In commending these our largest givers the Chairman and Trustees, are not unmindful of the fact that of the $68,000 given by the colored people, the bulk of it came out of the pockets of small means, and they deserve special mention and thanks. Youth Held For Father's Murder (Bv: A. N. P.) Magnolia, Miss., Jan. 7.—Gus Washington, Jr., is in the county jail awaiting preliminary trial in connection with the killing of his father, Gus Washington, Sr., and Frank Jones, about five miles northeast of Summit. it is alleged the youth took part in the shooting in which his father was mortally wounded. Jones was killed instantly. The prisoner was permitted to attend the funeral of his father in the custody of Deputy Sheriff Adolphus Ellzey, who returned him to the county jail. Marathon Runner Is Jailed As Wife Beater (By: A. N. P.) Hamilton, Ont., Jan. 7—Phillip Granville, marathon runner and twice winner of prizes in Pyle's coast to coast bunion derby, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault charges on his wife. Sentence was suspended. He was required to post a $300 bond to refrain from further violence toward his wife. Granville told reporters he was in Indiana when engaged in the bunion derby. Morris Heads St. Louis Y.M.C.A. (Bv: A. N. P.) B. F. A. N. F. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 7—O. Morris has been selected to fill the executive secretaryship of the Pine Street Y. M. C. A. here to fill the vacancy created when Harry K. Craft left to become secretary at Pittsburgh. Mr. Morris had been boys' work secretary here for three years and had created an enviable record in that capacity. The friends and fraternal brothers of Eddie Collins, well-known cafe owner and proprietor of a prosperous vegetable market at 21st and Hooper Ave., were shocked to hear of his demise on last Tuesday morning. He had been up and around for just a few days previous. He was taken ill on the previous Friday and steadily grew worse within severe attack of pneumonia and passed away last Tuesday morning at 6:15 A. M. His funeral will be held from the Chapel of the Angelus Funeral Home at 1 o'clock P. M. Saturday, under the apsices of Garrison Lodge, No. 45, F. & A. M. and Golden West Lodge, No. 86, I. B. P. O. E. of W. of which organizations he was an active member. In his loss the community loses one of its most active and useful citizens, he was of a likeable disposition and was known far and near for his genial smile and readiness to do something for his fellowman. It was this writer's privilege to know Eddie Collins very well and we can testify to his genuine sincerity of mind and purpose to be of service to mankind. He was 47 years of age and leaves to mourn his loss a devoted wife, a loving daughter, a father and brother in New Orleans and a host of friends who join with the grief-streaked family in their sad bereavement. BY: WM. PICKENS (For the Associated Negro Press) We have always held that the word "charity" is the biggest misnomer in the dictionary. Now, here is Mayor Walker of New York (City) publishing it all over the world that he is going to give back to the people, as "charity," what the people will be compelled to give him as excess salary. It is like this: Mayor Walker was being paid $25,000 a year, which is as much as the Governor of the State of New York is paid, who, by the way, is the highest paid governor in the nation. But Mayor Walker and his administration voted to raise the mayor's salary to $40,000 a year for the next four years. This extra $15,000, per annum will, of course, be paid by the people,—but the mayor is to get credit for "doing charity" in handing it back to them,—on his own terms and for the promotion of his own popularity and party interests. This is the most direct exhibition of American "Pharisiaaam" yet on record; just as if I lift a certain amount of money, which I do not need out of your pocket, and then give it back to you, and expect your adulation and everybody's else praise of me as a "charitable" person, although I took the money from you without your ensent, and albeit I mean to give it back in ways that suit me, not necessarily in ways approved by you. This is certainly a smooth trick: it beats even the "charity" buncombe of our great financier-philanthropists. It takes a politician to add the finishing touches. We have long been accustomed to the spectacle of great capitalists, who might shear a few thousand small "sheep" on Wall Street of a fe wmillion of their dollars and then hand it out in libraries, with the capitalists' name carved on al of them; or of those who, with a blowing of trumpets, endowed a few colleges or other institutions and then raised the price of oil for a hundred million people. While the people were agape, admiring the "philanthropist's generosity, he put his hands back in all of their pockets and took out a bit more than he had "donated." But there is no thing to be added: Mayor Walker, end his kind, are just that much better than the other kind who "take it and keep it." Brother Kills Sister Accidently (By: A. N. P.) New Orleans, Ln., Jan. 7.—Marion Ogwen, age 4, was shot and killed when a shotgun in the hands of her brother, Jacob, 13, accidentally discharged. The boy had found the gun and thinking it unloaded, was playing with it when the gun discharged the shot striking the girl in the left shoulder and arm. Alabama Normal Plans Celebration (By: A. N. P.) Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 7. -Dr. E. B. Huckabee of the class of 1884 and a practicing physician of Birmingham, Alabma, will deliver the annual Founder's Day address at the Alabama State Teachers College on Sunday afternoon, February 9, according to announcement today by President H. Council Trenholm. These exercises will feature brief tributes on the lives of the late presidents Peterson and Trenholm, special musical renditions under the direction of Mr. Willis James, and the address by this student of the days of the late William B. Patterson, a Scotchman who was president of the institution for thirty-eight years. The Alabama State Teachers College is the oldest state-supported teacher-training institution for Negroes in the entire United States, having been established by legislative enactment in 1874. The first graduating class (1580) will commemorate their ninth anniversary here in June at exercises, which will lecture the dedication of two new buildings now in process of erection at a cost of three thousand dollars. Alumni and students will be making their first reports on the Equipment Campaign for this new dormitory of 91 bedrooms and for the new college classroom building at the Founder's Day exercises on February 9. Doomed Youths Given Stay of Execution (By: A. N. P.) Columbia, S. C. Jan. 7—Harold Haynes, 15, and Freddie Gibbs, 17 convicted murders, who were scheduled to be executed January 10, have been granted a thirtyday stay of execution by Governor Richards in order to investigate the case to examine the mental condition of the youths. Haynes and Gibbs were convicted of murdering a white insurance agent and since the trial have told several conflicting stories of the affair. Haynes is alleged to have made a statement exonerating Gibbs and latter to ave repudiated this statement as well as a previous confession. A delegation of ministers and a group of white and colored citizens called on the governor last Thursday and urged him to stay the execution until further investigation could be made. It is the belief of many that the boys are mentally unbalanced and the petitioners have pointed out that clemency should be shown the pain because each one is well under 21 years of age. GIRL RUNS AMUCK; WOUNDS TWO (By: A. N. P.) Hopkinsville, Ky. Jan. 7—Edna Rudolph, a 16-year-old girl, ran amuck here Monday morning on Third Ave. and seriously wounded two small girls with a pair of scissors. Luella, Leavelle, 13. was stabbed thirteen times in the head and body and her sister, Magdalene, 10, received seven wounds both wreasted to the local hospital, where they were treated. (Bv: A. N. P.) Raleigh, N. C. Jan. 7.—Much alarm has been sounded over the proposed unionization of textile laborers throughout the South. The alarmists express the opinion that if the Federation of Labor is permitted to organize the white workers, a like movement will be started by the Communists to organize Negro workers and due to the feeling that Negroes will work for lower wages they will be given preference. During the recent trial of textile rioters, it was shown: that the Communists had already been busy creating sentiment in favor of the organization of white and black workers and an effort will be made to prevent such an organization, according to reports in this section. The announcement from New York City, that Thomas F. McMahon, president of the Textile Union, was urging the unionization of the workers in the South, served to intensify the fear of the employees of this section. In urging the organization of workers in the South, Mr. McMahon declared that the only economic salvation in the South lay in the organization of the workers. Plan Merger Of Two Arkansas Colleges Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 7—Haygood College, a school operated at Pine Bluff by the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church and Philander Smith College A. M. E. School of this city are to be merged under the terms of an agreement which was given approval in a meeting here last Friday. Joining in the conference which worked out the details of the plan were Bishop N. C. Cleaves and Dr. J. A. Bray of the C. M. E. Church. C. C. Neal president of Haygood, Bishop M. W. Clair, coloreed bishop of the M. E. Church, and G. C. Taylor, president of Philander Smith College. Ex-Governor George Donaghey, who is a member of the trustee board of both colleges was present. A commission of ten members from each church was appointed to work out the details of the merger which will then be submitted to the general conference of both denominations. Officer A. MacClanahan Gets A Break Officer A. MacClanahan Gets A Break Officer Arthur McClanahan, convicted after a sensational trial in Judge Carles Hardy's court a few weeks past, was granted a new trial by that jurist on last Monday when the judge ruled upon the omition which had been submitted to him. He also admitted the defendant to freedom upon his own recognizance. The District Attorney immediately served notice of appeal from the judgment of the court. This leaves the case in status quo until a decision on the appeal has been heard and decision rendered in the Appellate Court. If the appeal is sustained, the defendant must begin to serve his sentence. If the appeal is denied, the case will come back to the Superior court for retrial. Money Making Plot Fails Holly Springs, Miss. Jan. 7—Visions of easy money faded New Year's Day for V-una Ford and Barney Weeks. They bought an old white mule for $5 and decided to sell it to the Illinois Central Railroad, and completed the deal by tying the animal on the railroad tracks, shopping to collect when it was killed by a train. Their careful plans worked out—almost. The mule was killed, but an investigation revealed their blunder of tying the animal to the rails. CONGRESSMAN IN MAIDEN SPEECH HITS BELOW MASON-DIXON LINE Congressman Oscar DePriest in his maiden speech on the floor of the House, Wednesday, declared that he is glad to see the Democrats of the House so very solicitous about the black people in Haiti. He stated, "We in America would like, in some of the states of this country to have the right of self determination also." Mr. DePriest was referring toward conditions in the south. *Mr. DePriest's speech preceded the voting on a resolution authorizing of the commission asked for by President Hoover to go to Haiti and investigate conditions there. The resolution, which was passed by an overwhelming vote in the House and now goes to the Senate empowers the President to select a commission of not more than seven members which shall report to him within six months. By an amendment in the House, which was offered by Representative William B. Bankhead, Democrat, of Alabama, the commission at the same time will transmit a copy of its report to the Congress. The commission will embody in its report such recommendations as they may deem wise concerning the policies of the United States in Haiti. Debate upon the resolution was begun as soon as Representative Bertrand H. Snell, Republican, of New York, reported a resolution from the rules committee providing for the immediate consideration of the resolution authorizing the Haitian commission and limiting general debate to three hours equally divided between those favoring and opposing the resolution. Representative Harold Knutson, Republican, of Minnesota, recalled that President Harding appointed a high commissioner to superside the United States minister to Haiti without any express permission from Congress. He asked the question if the President can appoint one commissioner, why not seven? "If you want to get the wholehearted co-operation of the Haitian people, there should be appointed on this commission of seven at least two outstanding colored American citizens" declared Representative Hamilton Fish. Republican of New York. FACE QUESTION "It would be very unfortunate to inject the race question into this problem." stated Representative Geo. Huddleston, Democrat, of Alabama, who led the opposition. "The strange thing about the Haitian situation," he said, "is that we find here upon this floor men who are the spiritual and political descendants of those who conferred political rights upon the Negroes of the South, refuse to intrust similar rights to the Negroes of Haiti. The Negroes of Haiti have had 120 years of experience in self-government." Mr. DePriest said: "I occupy a peculiar position on this particular question. There have been so many contradictory statements on both sides of the House, it does appear to me that we should vote to appoint this Commission. WANT ENLIGHTENMENT "Most members of the House are not familiar with the conditions in Haiti, like myself and we all want enlightenment from a commission that will make an impartial investigation. "I was very much pleased at the suggestion made by the gentleman he recommended that one or two from New York (Mr. Fish) when members of the commission should be from the racial group that I am identified with, and I am not surprised to hear other gentlemen object to it. "The Haitian people consist of about two and a half million black people and about 125,000 or 130,000 belong to the educated class, and what the people of America wish is that the opinion of the great mass of the common people be ascertained, so that the President can more correctly carry out the program of America in wishing to help these people become capable of self government. "I appreciates also the great work that has been accomplished since we have occupied that country since the year 1915, along general improve- (Plains Turn To Page Five) 1° TERR RET TS OT NT EI LIE A TE NG ES TREN PA AN ME ENE Sa EAT La a a SN SNS STUDIO.

DAISY BOONE GAINS NEW LOVE the ASiORE Sam Harris, well known vaudeville actor, was pethaps painfully, but not, seriously injured last Thursday Jan.2. He was slashed in a knife duel with Miss Daisy (Boone, former sweet= heart, and member of the Jockey. Club chorus. Miss) Boone justifies her act- ions, by asserting she merely used necessary means to repell the advan- ces of Harris, whose love she no long- er required. | Harris reiuses to make any statements. 4 It appears that the trouble between the estranged pair, reached its climax New Year's Eve, at the Jockey Club. where Miss Boone works. Prior to. this it seems, Sam, was plainly. suf- fering some bad effects, due to some of his back-biting friends. Billy An- drews, a prominent member of the Lafayette Players now playing at the local Lincola) theater, here was sus= pected. He dill not appear to care, he became one of the most assidious pat- rons at the nite club. New Year's Eve, they both evidently resolved to test their strength, with. the charming chorine, Andrews platining no ¢oubt, to sweep her off-her faltering feet Harris, in one last vain attempt to re= gain his slipping place in her heart. ‘The result, saw Billy Andrews, and Sam Harris, in a dramatic scene that almost brought the noted pair to blows and Billy Andrews, the dram- smiling Daisy Boone, hitched to his sides. Sam Harris, with Sam Marmillion, recently formed one of the best dance teams seen here on vaudeville time. They were also noted for their mot ion picture work. Miss Boone, is a new! arrival h¢re from Chicago. Atty. and Mrs. Ivan Jobnson had as their guest over the Holidays. Miss Dorothy Fisher of Berkeley, Calif.

F THE CARE OF OUR BABIES (Coantinned) } veveral weeks ago we helped oi baby choose its mother and father And it succeeded in getting parents who had good health ana a strong body and sound mind and stable nerves to pass on as a heritage to this our little unborn body.

But the foundation ig only the beginning ot a building and good heritage is only the beginning of a baby.

THOROUGH EXAMINATION NECESSARY | The first Step in assuring our pros- I pective baby health and happiness i [a thorough examination of its moth- jer carly in the prenatal stage of the child. “This is usually the first thing that the doctor docs when the ‘patient goes to the office.

Thus at the very outset of pregnancy every woman should have a careful exam- ination ot feet and tonsilsh. Often in the early months of pregnancy the déntist can save a tooth which would be utterly lost should the mother ‘wait until the end of pregnancy :o shave it treated. Thus here again the ounce of prevention is worth many pounds of cure. The diseased tonsils can often be +o treated that much of the poison therein is elinunated and even a cure in early stages may be secured through proper treatment. Thus you see both teeth and tonsils may be saved during pregnancy ana the baby and mother may both escape the poisons found within them by carly and thorough: examination.

Los Angeles "A Street Preacher" ON THE SIDEWALK (Continued From Page One) citizenship, we will not cease until every man, black or white, enjoys the fruits of his labor. "Give me Liberty, or give me Death." IN THE FACE of the many discouraging things which arise from time to time to retard our cultural growth, it is indeed like sunshine after a terrible storm to read the article from the pen of Ruth Skeen, entitled "Dark Culture" in the January 4th issue of the Open Forum, which we are publishing in this column. Miss Skeen is but one among the many big-hearted Caucasians who know neither color, creed nor race but one big human family, brothers and sisters of one Father, striving always to make the world a better place in which to live. "It seems almost impossible for a white American to take an American black man naturally as one human being to another. They either persecute or patronize, condescend or regard him with curiosity or contempt. Were it not for this silliness, there would be no need for us to call attention to the growth of dark culture in America as it would easily take its place in the general aesthetic development (if any) in our country. But, unfortunately, in this as in much else, for the present moment, we exercise discrimination. "Perhaps, after all, it is just as well, since the dark American's contribution has certain racial traits that are indeed charming and different. If you would really like to know what he has done since 1865 you may read it written up by one of his own race, Walter White, who tells you all about it in one of Haldeman Julius' blue books, which may be had for a dime, under the title "The Negro's Contribution to Culture." It should be read by all who still visualize the coloreed man in a cotton patch or riding a mule through the canebrakes of Mississippi. "The race as given us in lyric form the only history of our religious experiences, and when we hear the spirituals we must admit, no matter how lily-white we are, that here is poetry, rhythm and imagination of singular purity and power. And it is to one of this race that we owe the preservation of this beauty for all ages to come which will regard it as the greatest native art form we have produced. And by slaves! A, what IS slavery? The body chained but the soul poised for flight! "James Weldon Johnson, himself an artist and a musician, wandered through the old South and collected these desipped songs; . . . believing in his race and having aesthetic vision, he has preserved what the white man regarded as slag. Thus is art born! "In literature the Negro is rapidly making a sound reputation for himself. In fact, he has become somewhat the fashion. The smartest book of the year is Taylor Gordon's "Born to Be." whose delightful insuance and careless comments on American civilization leave us breathless and cause us to realize that this race looks on at ours often with the tongue in the cheek. Walter White, Robert Moton, Dr. DuBois and many others, both women and men, are contributing valuable work also. "To ignore the aesthetic grits of a race that has produced poets like Langston Hughes and Countie Cullen, singers like Robeson and Hayes, is to show ourselves uncultured and lacking in the right judgment of what culture is. "Recently we witnessed an art exhibit by Negro students, including oils, water colors and etchings. Much of the work was excellent and some unusual, averaging just as would such an exhibit from the white group. "The dark man has found himself aesthetically, or shall we say he has begun to trust his own aesthetic taste, for a race cannot rise above the burden of an inferiority complex, wished upon it by a dominant race, in one generation. Please recall that in 1863 four million dark people were released, penniless, landless and assessed as real estate, could not legally marry nor own property and were forbidden to read or write. This is not the place for statistics, but there are plenty of them which will show you how the black man has lifted himself up by his own boot straps from nothing and carved his fortune with his bare hands. Hedged in by hate, his aesthetic life Church More than two hundred and fifty dollars was the amount spent by the Benj. J. Bowie Post and its Auxiliary for presents, groceries and Legion Christmas activities. It was disclosed from reports at the meeting of the Post on last Monday night. This sum was not only the contribution of the Post and Auxiliary to the community as a part of their activities in community service but it was explained that the monies was raised entirely by donations for the Christmas season from within the ranks of the organization. Resolutions were also passed thanking all persons and organizations for the parts played in making the community Xmas tree and entertainment a success, held at the Lincoln Theatre on Christmas day and sponsored by the Elks and Legion for the kiddies of the community. A new departure in activity was made when the Chairman of the Americanization Committee, Jerome L. Hubert, announced that the "go to church day" of Benjamin J. Bowie Post had been set as Sunday. January 19th, and the Post in proper regalia would attend in massed formation the Independent Church of Christ on that date as special guest for the day. This procedure is a part of the program of that committee adopted at the beginning of the legion fiscal year when the Post approved recommendation of this committee to attend as a body each quarter any church which the committee would select. In submitting his recommendation Chairman Hubert said, "The American Legion is composed of men in all walks of life with various religious and political convictions upon which the Legion has pledged itself to strict neutrality. This is as it should be. My committee makes this recommendation that the members within the Legion who are religiously 'inclined may have the pleasure of giving vent to that inclination as a part of their Legion activities." A report from the Auxiliary showed that 62 sweaters and shirts had been presented to members of our group at the soldier's home in Sawtelle. Eleven occupants at Sawtelle were admitted into Legion membership at Monday's meeting. went free. White Americans were not concerned with it. As a result, his defense mechanism became laughter and song. We can now congratulate ourselves that we did not understand what was going on. "The dark man has had to face the hopeless task of making the white man take his aesthetic life seriously but now that he is developing race integrity and race consciousness so rapidly this need not be utter him. And there is always a little group of wise hearts in every wilderness of fools who will be sympathetic and aware of his accomplishments. "As a musical artist, the colored man has been on the map for a number of years. Now he has met every test of taste as an actor; it is taken seriously at last as an artist and not as a buffoon. "Heart in Dixie" and "Hallejah" prove to us that there is music in dark laughter, sweetness in dark love and beauty in dark faces. We have only to see either of these pictures to realize that this is a refined, gentle and spiritual race. "The Negro's rapidly growing contribution to American culture should be watched by us. It is unique and distinctive. The very lack of pattern has given him forms absolutely his own and they should be preserved. It is just this thing that makes Taylor Gerrison's book such a delight to an artist. It is so spontaneously Gordon. "To ignore or discriminate against the aesthetic achievements of this dark group is to show ourselves vicious, silly and wanting in true aesthetic perception. We should make it a matter of pleasure and honor to encourage and appreciate the talents of dark Americans, not only collectively but individually, as part of our cultural life. A civilization so stupid and vicious as to ignore or discriminate against its own cultural development cannot survive and does not deserve to do so." GET THE HABIT OF GOING TO THE A. M. E. ZION CHURCH The activities for the month of December closed with a bang at the First A. M. E. Zion church, Pico and Paloma streets. There was good preaching by the pastor, Rev. l. Albert Moore during the entire month. The singing of the choir under Mrs. Evelyn Horton Solomon was splendid. The third Sunday was Young People's Day. Miss Louise Baltazar was the speaker at the morning worship. Sba brought a great message on behalf of modern young folk. At the evening worship, Miss Myrle Cage, a young lady who has felt a divine call gave us a burning message. On Christmas Eve the Sunday school had its program and Christmas tree. Mrs. Roberta Payne, the superintendent, had a splendid program; a feature of which was the acrobatic stunts of the Raines sisters and the singing of the Christmas hymns by the audience as they were thrown on the screen. The early morning Christmas services were well attended. The pastor preached a Christmas sermon. On the fourth Sunday evening, Prof. A. Collins presents his Symphony Orchestra in our regular fourth Sunday evening musicale. They were assisted by his group of jubilee Singers. We were pleased with their program and are wondering how soon we can hear them again. On the fifth Sunday afternoon, Hazel Whittaker, the M. B. A LIFE SAVER!

In further pursuit of knowledge he for one year specialized in Science, then entered Flint Medical College, New Orleans where he pursued a Pharmaceutical Course, thus fitting himself for his life's work. Coming to California he first found employment with the Playground Department of the City of Los Angeles; later, and for many years he proved a trusted employee of Dr. J. T. Smith in his drug store on Central Avenue at Twelth street. Possessed of a clear vision and with faith in his ability to succeed and the courage to begin, about six years ago he launched Bower's Drug Store at the corner of Long Beach avenue and Fifty-fifth street. That succeeded is beyond question and for the full period he has enjoyed the support, confidence and the respect of the community in which he had established his business. He was active in the many charitable efforts of the community, a devout member of the church as well as a member of the Knights of Pythias, the Elks and Masonic Lodges.

From their talk 1 am led to believe they want to help the Haitian people and I am go- ing to take it at its face value, ana | have coniidence that the gentiemen who are talking against this resolution believe that teh Haitian people should have a square deal so/ far as America ws concerned. “L know our Government is not there to exploit that island Republic, like every other Member of this Con- gress ought to know.

It is known as "mail merchandising. The system practiced by "mail merchandisers" is an adaptation of the plan first used by worthy and legitimate causes. It consists of sending to names on a purchased mailing list goods, usually neckties, handkerchiefs or cards, which may be retained at a stated price or returned. The goods as a rule are both shoddy and cheap. They may be absolutely useless to the person to whom they are addressed, yet it he neglects to return them, follow up letters are sent which take on a black-mailing character. Uncle Sam's mails were never intended for such purposes. They burden the mails unnecessarily and wrongfully exploit low postal rates. Since the mails are not self-supporting—the postal deficit running into the millions annually—the practice amounts to making the taxpayers victims of the system and reputable merchants who suffer from such business tactics are entitled to relief. But why wait for the government to act, when the public could provide its own relief by the simple expedient of refusing to play the part of the sucker?

These are the days when the cold winds blow from the north as though to test the manhood that is so powerful under a warm sun. These are days, indeed, to stir to its utmose; days of activity. A brief interruption of cold weather and heavy rain spoiled snow slides, but many of these have been repaired by applications of water. Seldding on ice is quite as dangerous as on snow, more swift and more thrilling. Young America will not be cheated of pleasure. Full grown America, also, at least in Los Angeles, can be eard shouting with delight as a small Ford car sweeps down Central Avenue.

The so-called hick town has lately become a source of great inspiration to our professional humorists. A hick town, say the various users of this convenient formula, is a place where a backfire is never mistaken for a pistol shot; where bedtime is orthodox; where woodpeckers eat up the depot; where central can tell you whether it was a girl or a boy; where the neighbors will supply you with a conscience if you lack one; where there is no parking problem; where a curfew disturbs the residents' rest; where fine cut tobacco is no handicap socially, and so on and on. With no intention of becoming terribly heavy over the matter, we want to add that a hick town is a place where 26 of our 29 presidents were born and where seven out of 10 of the immortals in New York's national hall of fame originated. A hick town that did have a name produced Lincoln. Hick towns gave us most of our great literary figures of the past and practically all of those now living. Hick towns produce our Edisons. If we may, then we would like to suggest that a hick town is a place where a boy has an excellent opportunity to lay the foundation of future greatness.

WHEN IS PROSPERITY PROSPERITY? For some time the atmosphere about us charged with the reassuring predictions that which has prevailed throughout this country economic conditions, will soon be lifted and transal prosperity will make its advent. Taliion, the President of the United States call dustrial and financial giants, asking and rec that they will go ahead with improvements ployment and lift this terrible seige. In response to this call, and with deteplorable condition, representatives from ev financial organization in the Nation met in co and emerged with definitely formulated plans For some time the atmosphere about us has been charged and surcharged with the reassuring predictions that the long siege of hardtimes which has prevailed throughout this country and has so demoralized economic conditions, will soon be lifted and the long heralded era of universal prosperity will make its advent. Taking the lead in this direction, the President of the United States called together the nation's industrial and financial giants, asking and receiving assurance from them that they will go ahead with improvements in order to banish unemployment and lift this terrible seige. In response to this call, and with determination to alleviate this deplorable condition, representatives from every civic, industrial and financial organization in the Nation met in conference with the President and emerged with definitely formulated plans for the expenditure of several billions of dollars in improvements in their lines in order to give needed employment to the idle of the country. As a tangible evidence of that 29 of our 48 states have sent in reports of work already begun to the amount of over 5 billion. In the face of this and as a further reassurance, the U. S. treasury reported a surplus of 175 million dollars at the close of 1929. The Congress had already authorized a 160 million dollars refund to the taxpayers covering the same period. Furthermore, the banks and other financial institutions of the country report vast increases in capital and surpluses. Four banks—two in New York City, one in Chicago and one in our own Los Angeles—have moved into the billion dollar class, while many others are past or near the half billion dollar mark. In fact all the nation's big businesses show new records in prosperity for the past year. This is encouraging indeed. We poor mortals we have suffered so much and so long from the effects of hard times, listen well to all this news with a deep-seated hope that the welcomed visitor will not delay its coming. Moreover, we should be pardoned if we are not yet able to receive this news as reassuring when we read of the tremendous advance and prosperity among the big industrial and financial institutions of the nation; the ever-increasing dividends being paid to stockholders and the generally splendid, healthy condition in which our nation's business is, while the same dispatches tell us that 1929 was a record year for unemployment, low wages, suffering and destitution among the poor laboring clauses of this nation, we are compelled to view with suspicion and misgivings the new prosperity for 1930. Our suspicion and fear is that the "shower" of prosperity migth "shy" around us in 1930 as it very plainly did in 1929, leaving us high and dry. It is har dio believe that of the many big financial and industrial institutions right in our midst, al lshowing such stupendous financial growth, that we could still have so many men and women out of work and not able to get the bare necessities of life. Our suspicion is whether or not in the new prosperity era this contemplated outlay on projects will be equitably distributed. We know that the prosperity so much bragged about in the past year was neither seen nor felt by the rank and file of us. Genuine prosperity in a community or nation cannot be restricted to a favored few, if so, it will lose its name and force. ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened No nation or community has any prosperity that it can brag about when such a large number of its citizens are in distress. That kind of prosperity which enables the millionaires to grow into multi-millionaires, the multi-millionaires grow into billionaires, and the big businesss grow bigger by the merger route, while the small fish grow smaller and poorer, is not what we call genuine, and surely is not the kind we should like to see come out of all this fuss about the coming prosperity of 1930. We do not wish, nor do we look forward to the coming of an era of charity. The rank and file of the nation's poor would much rather have a chance to work for what they need than have the charitable organizations relieve them in distress. Let not those captains of industry and finance who have assured the president that they will go with full speed ahead with improvements in 1930, make it a race among themselves to see which can accumulate the most millions and paystockholders the highest dividends; not how low the ycan cut wages and how far they can go to replace manual labor. But let them understand that no nation nor part of a nation can safely and securely advance in prosperity with half of its citizens standing in the soup lines, or crowding the charity houses. Poverty must be as surely banished as illiteracy in any nation before it can boast of any prosperity that is not a mockery to itself and the rest of the world. LET'S MAKE 1930 ONE FOR REAL PROGRESS As we stand in the vestibule of a New Year our fondest hope is that it shall be a year of greater progress and prosperity for all people than we have ever experienced before. A capital way in which to start the year will be to discard and leave into the sea of forgetfulness all hatred, prejudice and envy and this will make it possible to go forward with the program of progress. Hitched onto this situation a determination for honest dealing with all mankind and a premium upon honsest endeavor shall be our portion. Support worthwhile business enterprise, frown only upon the parasites and political sylvesters and they will soon be forced to the tall and uncut timber. Support your newspapers when they are right to the end that the group will participate in all of the emoluments which is their due. Where any merchant receives your trade and fails to give to the group due consideration—frown upon him and trade elsewhere. If we do these things we will see real progress.

California seems about to develop a bit of scandal which may involve some of the big oil companies. It is alleged that in order to evade the 3 cent tax on gasoline that product, ostensibly, consigned for export has been diverted for the use of industries within the State, avoiding the tax and thus defrauding the State of approximately 5 millions of dollars. The Board of Equalization is responsible for the administration of the law regulating the State tax on gasoline, and it is up to that Board to start an investigation. Luckily, the State Department of Justice has at its head an Attorney General who has played no favorites, nor has a breath of suspicion tained his office. If there has been any attempt to defraud the State of its legitimate revenue, the taxpayer can rest assured that the guilty will be not only punished but the coffers of the State be reimbursed. It is said that already six officers of small companies have been indicted. * * * * 400 years ago Torquemada issued an edict expelling Spain.

A survey of the race voting strength shows it to be a potent factor. If rightly used it can be the determining factor in many of the selections, and a determiner of many political issues. One thing sure: unless the activities or some of the blatant claimers of political influence is quelched political recognition of the past will be that of the future, and you know what that was and is. * * * * place a ban on dance that conditions were a Commissioner of pug general closing of the aptly.

This is intended merely as an aphorism. Not intended to cast any reflection on the honesty of the ardent advocates of Prohibition, but their diversity of opinin as to the methods to be pursued in enforcement threatens to nullify any method of its effectiveness. That it—Prohibition—has become the main issue of the political parties cannot be denied, and political issues are generally passed back and forth like the ball between two football teams. First it was made a moral issue; then it threatened to become a "national religion." Now, politicians see in it a medium, or vehicle, for political preference, and the outcome is hard to predict. Prohibition's most ardent advocate, among the politicians is Senator Borah. The Senator, in his mental attitude, is based along the lines of the late W. J. Bryan. Most of us know what that was. Here is something of supreme interest. "Sergeant Johnson, Negro sculptor, is again winner of a Harmon Foundation fine arts award for distinguished achievements among Negroes." Such was the announcement through recent New York dispatches. He was awarded a gold medal and $100. He had three pieces, a wood carving and two charcoal sketches.

THE COMMON PEOPLE By CARL ECHOLS A building rests upon its pillars and foundation. Our social and economic systems rest upon the production of the Common People. Our system of capitalism is antagonistic to the best interests of the working people. Believe it or not, there are reasons to believe that its psychology is based on the barbarous practice of the strong exploiting the weak. We inherited it from our primitive ancestors. In old days, conquering tribes made slaves of their captives. Today, powerful money-power (concentrated in the hands of a few master schemers) makes slaves of those dependent upon wages for their existence Capitalism thrives upon the exploitation of the helpless employees. The common people! See that sun tanned tiller of the soil? He's a farmer. The world depends upon him for its food. Let him cease his earthy toil and humankind would starve. What would become of kings, aristocrats, and elite society if farmers were to cease their labors? The common people—the working class—are the bulwark of any race or nation. But who wants to acknowledge his kinship to common clay? Hence many bile-away to centers of culture and acquire a—vencer! Tehes anthropomorphic heaps of mere human sod would be polished, different human stuff. But polished or in the rough, mere human clay they still remain. The gospel that some people are born to be "hewers of wood and drawers of water" while others are predestined to luxury, ease and special privilege is pure humbug. It is a figment of somebody's twisted mind. Scientists tell us that the chemicals that go to form the human body are worth about 98 cents, rich man poor man, beggarman, thief, the price is the same: 98 cents. Why boast we at our college degrees? Our vain titles? Our conceived culture and social position? Our pedigrees? Our possessions? Some day our earthy tabernacles will crumble. Little bugs will cat away our skeletons and fleshly coverings. Our one- --- tune body of human clay will join its mother earth—our 98 cents worth of solids, liquids, and gases will return to natures great chemical laboratory. It was among the common people that the seeds of democracy were first effectively sown; and it will be by and thru the common masses that any worth while humanistic reform will be made. The scholarly, aristocratic pharisees announced and rejected Christianity, but the masses embraced it with open arms. Blue bloods (?) boast of their family tree; bright chaps of their intelligence quotients; and the males of the human species rejoice to know that their average skulls are said to be larger than feminine ones. (As though the size of the brain box determined or vouchsafed the quality and extent of mental strength and ability. The time is coming when the common people will come "unto their own." Political and economic control will someday be in the hands of the people (where it belongs) and not in the hands of a few privileged, callous-hearted exploiters. I believe in the intelligence, industry, and integrity of the Common People. TWENTY-THREE-M.W. -- ? SPOONING Once upon a warm day Sunny. When the bees were making honey. And the bites sang gaily in the trees above. Neath a shed so cool and shady, Sat a laddie and his lady. Making lots of what is known as puppy love. Quoted she. "I love you dearer Than a flapper loves her mirror. Should you die, I'd cling forever at your grave." Quoted he, "I loves you greater, Than I loves a sweet pertater. And I wants to be your ever lasting slave" Now her mother caught them Spooning. And I knew that was swooning. When she screamed and fell into a muddy hole. And her dad wanted to whip her With an old last summer slipper. Friday, January 10, 1930 --- Like the lillies of the valley, Who neither toil or spin: Some men refuse to labor, Their daily bread to win. Some loafers meet in Barber shops To hold their daily session: Discussing religion, war, politics, And the Negro question. There are certain pool rooms In which young men are found: Wasting time and money Chasing ivory balls around. Around the Old Post Office, Before each day is done: There is a crowd of loafers, Standing in the sun. Go up to the Plazza, And there you will see: The windy soap box orator, And loafers of every degree. There are many kinds of loafers, Some great, and some small: Now when you criticise, Do not condemn them all. A loafer toasting his shins, And having a dream slime: Gets up with his vision, And invents the steam engine. Experts are useful men, Their constructive deeds are many: But it took a barber to invent The grand old Spinning Jenny. If the expert knows so much, And has an analytical mind: Why did he overlook wireless, And leave it for a boy to find? Demosthenes was not a toiler, With a lantern in his hand, He starched the grottoes of Greece Looking for an honest man. Have patience with all mankind And as your love grows deeper: You will some day realize That, you are your brother's keeper. Harmon Award to Truman K. Gibson Harmon Award to Truman K. Gibson EFFORT IN GIGANTIC MERGER WINS HONOR Chicago, Jan. 8. By A.N.P.—Truman K. Gibson, Chairman of the board of Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company of this city, has been awarded the Harmon Foundation Gold Medal for 1929 with an honorarium of $400. These awards were first offered in 1926, organized by the late Wm. E. Harmon, for the purpose of giving additional stimulus for creative work to members of the Negro group and through recognition of achievement of national significance, not only to give personal recognition to such work but to open wider fields' of opportunity. The awards are an insignia of honor conferred upon men and women whose creative efforts have contributed to or may become a helpful factor in American life and civilization. The honor was given to Mr. Gibson because of the most outstanding creative achievement in the field of business and industry among Negroes during 1929. At the time of the consolidation of Liberty Life Insurance Company, Ohio, and Northeastern Life Insurance Company of Newark, New Jersey, Mr. Gibson was President of the Supreme Life and Casulty Company, which he had organized in 1921. He was responsible for initiating the conferences and proposing the idea which led to the consolidation of the three companies into the present organization known as the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company with a capital of $400,000 and approximately 30 million of life insurance in force. It is understood that the award was made to Mr. Gibson not alone because of the meteral accomplishment of the consolidation itself, but constituting as it does the first consolidation of several representative business institutions, it has served to establish a precedent for other Negro business organizations. Further, that the consolidation marked an epoch in the business life of Negroes and points the way to combinations of still greater financial strength. Mr. Gibson is a graduate of Harvard University, and prior to his organization of Supreme Life and Casulty Company he had gathered wide experience in the field of insurance through the building up of a small southern insurance company into an organization of substantial importance. Upon the consolidation of the three companies and his selection as Chairman of the Board he moved to Chicago, where he maintains his residence.

The latter are falling by the wayside, but the former are prospering on fried fish and fried potatoes at fiiteen cents 2 throw. The delicatessen stores are furnishing the succulent - chitterling and lucions “trotter” for the delection of the “hog.” Was a time, when these two choice yiands were the rage in Harlem, now they are relegated to, a back seat, breaking into the lime- light only on festive occasions, such as that clegent function, peculiar to Harlem, the “House rent party” or the “Saturday night function,” Some- times these little “get togethers” are/ dignified by calling them. “whist parties” or “parlor socials.” Whatever | the fame, the aim is the same. ‘And on to the Beauty’ Shoppec!

Not only do the women indulge in this favorite occupation, bmt some “men” are jumping into “it too ang they are, making money. “Systems” of all kinds may be found in Harlem whether you use the one pull system or the two pull system, you cad find it here. This is the only business, thank goodness, the jew, the Greek, the Italian cdn't understand, but they’ have to have their share in ity s0 they manufacture all sorts of prepar- ations, combs and such ptilities mec- essary for the promulgation of the work. But as for owning and running a beauty shoppe, they .haven't ‘got chance. Back to the bar rooms for 2 change, Many of these establishments have side and rear entrances, plainly mark. ed, as in the old days, “Women” or “Ladies entranre.” And believe me the women are not ashamed to be! seen going into the doors. One sees: old ladies, young ladies, white ladies, black ladies, trown ladles, crippled ladies; in fact, ladies of all sorts, banging around in the rear of these “in mills” 23 they are affectionately known. To the gentry of another strata, they are “Juice Joints.” Again the trouble of a name. One night I) overheard several ladies of the cho- rus of a noted local theater talking about a party they were to attend 2 fittle later in the evening of morning, after their regular work was over, and they*declared they were going to. 2 gin mill for a social session.

They nave; elready appealed to the Superniten- dent, but he claims they have no bump coming.

A few. lonesome stragglers, with a bot- tle or two nestled closely to their sides, and never for a minute out of their sights, an oecasinal shot or two, and we entered 1930 a blank in red ink. .
